Bioprinting technology, one of the three-dimensional printing technologies, is continuously
developing with the studies carried out every day and it is becoming more important in the
construction of functional tissue scaffolds with different properties in the field of tissue engineering. In
the construction of tissue scaffolds, the studies on bioink which is component of bioprinters is very
important. It is very important to study on production of processable bioink for production of tissue
scaffolds with the desired mechanical, chemical, biological and surface properties and/or to be used
for direct printing with cells. Properly printable bioink production will increase the possibility of using
bioprinters in tissue engineering studies and will enable us to respond to the needs of tissue
engineering. In this study, bioceramic powders based on calcium phosphate (CaP), poly(vinyl alcohol)
(PVA) and different growth factors are used to produce a suitable bioink for use in bone tissue
engineering applications. It is aimed to enable the printing of bone tissue with the bioprinters with
desired feature of material produced in this project. This study provides a solution to the lack of bioink
alternative for the professionals using the bioprinting method.
